Guilherme Maranhão

Sao Paulo (SP)

Pluracidades series, 2014

These images were captured with a digital camera built from obsolete scanners by Maranhão. With its functioning subverted, the movement of the scanner carriage is combined with the displacement created by the photographer himself. The result is a set of weird and kaleidoscopic images. If, on the one hand, the landscape (Paulista Avenue, Moreira Guimarães Avenue and Minhocão) is on the verge of being recognizable, on the other hand it is more than real, for it mimics the serial, chaotic and illegible structure of Sao Paulo.
